No Pac-10 contact with Utah, so far

Associated Press
 

HALF MOON BAY, Calif. — Mountain West Conference commissioner Craig Thompson says he was told Monday by Utah’s athletic director that the university had not been contacted by the Pac-10.

Thompson was attending a meeting of conference commissioners in northern California on Tuesday. Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott was not in attendance.

Thompson says Scott has not contacted him since the Pac-10’s invitation to Texas was declined Monday. The Pac-10 was hoping to add the Longhorns and four other Big 12 schools to form a 16-team conference. But Texas and the rest decided to stay put. The Pac-10 is one member short of the 12 it needs to hold a football championship game.

Utah has been speculated as being the Pac-10’s next target.

    Sorry, but WSU needs to go to the Mountain West. The So. Cal boys are not coming to the Palouse nor are the Texans! Texas in the PAC 10, most ridiculous thing I’ve heard in my life! Tell me its not about the money!
